Pulled Muscle In Arm. Aches When Relaxed. What To Do?
I have a dull ache in top left arm it go's down the back near shoulder blade and sometimes feels like it's my armpit. I've been to my own g.p who said it's a pulled muscle. It doesn't hurt when I lift anything or use it but when I relax I can feel the ache. I'm right handed but use my left arm for a lot of things and tense it if I use it to mop when I clean
